Matthew 11:28 (NKJV)
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”
To us naturally, it may be challenging to comprehend that there is rest in Jesus, but there is. I have had countless times where I decided to cease from my labor about something, and found rest in Jesus. It is beyond what man can do and only Jesus provides.
It says here Jesus gives rest to all that come to Him. He will take away your burdens, your heaviness, and your pain. There is no peace for the wicked, but God has given us access to all He is by way of His Son. Your best days do not have to be a rarity, but a consistency of assurance, gladness, and peace. There may be panic and fear in the world; however, we have a refuge.
Don’t carry it. You have access to God’s rest. Rely on God and put your faith in Him. Come to Jesus and He will give you rest.
Prayer: Thank You God for the rest found in Jesus. I come to You Jesus and I desire your rest for you to remove my heaviness. Remove my stress. Remove my pain. I cease from my labor and I rely on yours. Give me rest. Refresh my soul. Help me to put my total trust in You. By faith, I receive Your rest now. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
